IN THIS LESSON
ID: 4095 Advanced
This lesson is the second part of our Android series, which takes a satirical look at customer-no-service. Our author, Xiao Yao, introduces us to different types of people we meet when we approach a counter needing help. In this lesson, she provides her own explanation of her article. Her article illustrates modern uses of traditional phrases and ends with a punch line, making digging into the text well worth the effort. Some of the words have alternate meanings than you would find in a dictionary, and some are current millennial Internet slang. 在上一个课程，第一段大意是对一些官僚机构的办事效率慢，消极懈怠的工作态度，进行了生动的描述。 而这里第二段内容讲述了人们遭遇了官僚机构的排斥和打压之后，会向往与机器人沟通，因为无论如何，机器人都不会有坏情绪，不会怼人，不会没有耐心，机器人会按照输入的程序认真回答每个问题。可是，你会喜欢和一个没有人性机器人聊天还是你可能宁愿和一个有血有肉怒气冲冲的人说话？ 在这部分的解说里，作家肖遥和小黑同学还就人类能否和机器人谈恋爱进行了讨论，这些讨论深入浅出，非常有趣，十分精彩。

SIMPLIFIED PINYIN ENGLISH  
蛮 mán barbarian; bullying; very
正派 zhèngpài upright
见仁见智 jiànrénjiànzhì opinions differ (idiom)
网罗殆尽 wǎngluódànjìn here means all incorporate, no one left out
也许还有第四种情况，也就是，天下最极品的前台办事人员都已经被我们机构网罗殆尽了，
yěxǔ háiyǒu dìsìzhǒng qíngkuàng ，yě jiùshì ，tiānxià zuì jípǐn de qiántái bànshì rényuán dōu yǐjīng bèi wǒmen jīgòu wǎngluódànjìn le ，
Perhaps there is a fourth situation, that is, we have already enlisted the weirdest office staff in the world,
所以，遇到任何一个人都比老Q正派，比小咪热情，比小F殷勤，最好是即便劈头问候其母亲，也不生气不回嘴更不哭，最好像家里哄孩子用的iPad，
suǒyǐ ，yùdào rènhé yī ge rén dōu bǐ lǎo Q zhèngpài ，bǐ xiǎomī rèqíng ，bǐ xiǎo F yīnqín ，zuìhǎo shì jíbiàn pītóu wènhòu qí mǔqīn ，yě bù shēngqì bù huízuǐ gèng bù kū ，zuì hǎoxiàng jiālǐ hǒng háizi yòng de iPad ，
so whoever you meet will be more decent than Old Q, more enthusiastic than Xiaomi, and more hospitable than Small F. Even when you insult the desk lady's mother, she is not angry, she doesn't talk back, she doesn't cry, it's like using an iPad at home to coax children.
你问它你是人吗？它说：蛮接近了说：你不乖它说：你说酱就酱。谴责它你的服务很差它还会卖萌你真的那么想吗？
nǐ wèn tā nǐ shì rén ma ？tā shuō ：mán jiējìn le shuō ：nǐ bù guāi tā shuō ：nǐ shuō jiàngjiùjiàng 。qiǎnzé tā nǐ de fúwù hěnchà tā hái huì màiméng nǐ zhēnde nàme xiǎng ma ？
You ask it, "Are you human?" It says: "Quite close." and you say, "You are not good." It says: "If you say so, so be it." When you condemn it:"Your service is very poor," it will act cute and ask, "Do you really think so?"
即便听到再难听的话，它也会心态极好：见仁见智吧。
jíbiàn tīngdào zài nántīng de huà ，tā yě huì xīntài jíhǎo ：jiànrénjiànzhì ba 。
Even though it hears hurtful words, it will have a great attitude and say, "Each is entitled to his own opinion."
